||Banned Sites||

Discover which websites are considered 'banned' in the context of Pokémon Platinum guides and why, along with important notes on guide updates and credits.

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon a section about "Banned Sites" in Pokémon Platinum. Don't worry, this isn't about in-game bans or anything like that. It's actually about the websites that the guide creator used or referenced when putting together this walkthrough.

Think of it like this: when someone writes a big guide, they often pull information from a bunch of different places. This section is basically giving credit where credit is due and also letting you know which sites are considered the go-to for updates.

What are the "Banned Sites"?

The primary sites mentioned as "banned" (meaning, the ones the author *doesn't* want you to rely on for updates besides GameFAQs and Gamespot) are:

• www.cheatcc.com
• www.zeldaguide.com

The author makes it clear that they always update their main guide on GameFAQs and Gamespot first. For any other site, it's up to that site's owner to keep their version of the guide current. So, if you're looking for the most up-to-date info, stick to the main sources!

Guide Credits and References

The rest of this section is a detailed breakdown of all the resources the guide creator used. It's pretty extensive and shows how much effort goes into making a comprehensive walkthrough. Here’s a quick look at what they referenced:

• Prima's guide: Used for general reference and remembering certain things.
• Serebii.net and Bulbapedia: These are huge resources for Pokémon info, and they were referenced for things like Pokémon appearance percentages, National Dex details, move lists, Underground items, Shiny and Pokerus info, Items Guide, Great Marsh, Catch Rate/Catching, Battle Frontier, Pokedex entries, Ability List, and Move Tutor info.
• Nintendo Pokedex: Also used for move lists, items, and Pokedex entries.
• Gamespot and GameFAQs: These are the primary sites where the author updates their own guides.
• Shukochan's Item guide and shinkuuakuma's Underground Guide: Specifically referenced for Secret Base items and Underground details.
• www.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net: Used for Elite Four Guide, Shiny and Pokerus Info, Trophy Garden Guide, Great Marsh, Catch Rate/Catching, Battle Frontier, Gender Differences, Poketech Programs, and Ribbon Guide.

It's pretty cool to see all the different sources that come together to make a complete guide. Just remember to check the main GameFAQs or Gamespot page for the latest updates!
